I think you should consider doing a gif-animated file instead of the mpeg if
you only have a dozen of pdb, otherwise, it will run too fast.
You can render each file like a snapshot, or tachyon, or whatever, and then
create the resulting gif with the convert command :
convert -delay 50 snap001.rgb snap002.rgb snap003.rgb ... film.gif
delay is the timestep in 1/100 s and in my case, the rgb files come from the
snapshot render.
You can import the resulting gif in ooimpress like a regular image, it will
animate automagically. It is also easy to watch it in any web browser.
Finally, you should consider doing a size adjustement before the convert
command, to reduce the final size of the snapshots (with also the convert
command).
